Limiting-Out on Walleyes (RAW & Uncut on Local Lake)

[@DruFishing]

Really like this format, it’s a valuable learning experience to see your raw process.

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Dru. My hope is that it’s similar to looking over my shoulder while I fish.

[@jasonguthiller1649]

I like this! I'd definitely watch more like this. Keep up the good work!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Jason. I’ll probably make some more.

[@chrisfox3449]

These videos are awesome , love it , great work

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Chris

[@chrisfox3449]

Watched the entire video, format is awesome 👌

[@NickLindner]

Appreciate that!

[@aaronj9987]

Hey man I live in the area and just got livescope this past winter so I’m loving these videos and learning new things every time you post! I got into them heavy on Mille Lacs after watching you. Keep them coming and I hope to bump into you at an access one of these days!

[@NickLindner]

Right on, Aaron! Glad I could help. Don't hesitate to say hi, at the ramp or on the water.

[@tjsguideservice]

This was awesome. Love the layout!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks dude!

[@craigwavra3495]

Liking this format!! If I can sit and watch you ice fish for hours, might as well do it in the summer!!

Sioux forever!!!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Craig! I appreciate the support all season!

[@King_KaChing]

Your videos are awesome. I learn a ton, you are a great fisherman who doesnt mind sharing what you know. You are humble about it as well. Much appreciated. I caught some eyes on ned-rigs last week near Alexandria trying them for the first time!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for the kind words, man! Awesome that you cracked some on Neds your first time around. That’s a confidence builder for sure

[@aaronotto7010]

Thanks for the FF perspective and explaining how you break it down. Questions: 1. Garmin FF? 2. If so which ducer? 3. Are you running dedicated power to the unit? Thank you kindly. Having trouble seeing the bait drop. Hoping to unlock the key. Appreciate you.

[@NickLindner]

Hey aaron. Yes, this is a Garmin LVS34 and it has a dedicated lithium battery. It’s actually just my ice fishing shuttle brought onto the boat.

[@aaronotto7010]

@@NickLindner Thank you kindly. It's clean power. Deduced the ducer half way through there when you compared distance vs your model. Sorry watched two hours post or would have gone with a veggie -emoji of: 🥕

[@heweyinthewoods]

It's great to watch something that's not cut and pasted but real time. I don't feel like such a loser. Thanks a lot.

[@NickLindner]

Realistically, if you catch a limit of walleye in a couple hours on an average local stocked walleye lake, you’re doing well. Edited videos don’t always do a good job of demonstrating that fact.

[@bad_vaporizer]

I wanted to ask you a question about drop shot. I used drop shot on a lake where there are gobies on structures. I have the live bait about 2 feet up off bottom and these gobies keep taking my bait. How do you avoid them stealing your nightcrawlers?

[@NickLindner]

That’s tough. I haven’t fished live bait on a dropshot in gobie lakes. My instant reaction would be to use leeches, minnows or plastics instead of crawlers.

[@bad_vaporizer]

@@NickLindner I'll give that a try. Thank you for your reply.

[@Jay-bp9bh]

Have you tried or thought about getting a separate mount for the transducer so you can spot lock/search for fish without moving the boat? 🥦

[@NickLindner]

That’s how I had it rigged up when I first started using FFS. Obviously it’s a viable option, but I prefer the trolling motor as a hands-free option and I don’t have any issues moving around and positioning like that.

[@Jay-bp9bh]

@@NickLindner I thought that might be your answer. Just wanted to get your take on it. I don't have it yet but it's in the plans and getting different options for set-up. I definitely see the benefit of hands free.

[@CliffWatrin]

Love the format, and your comments, only thing to possibly improve is that the live scope image is dropped fairly frequently, if any way to fix this would be great.

[@NickLindner]

I’m right there with ya! Frustrating that I had recording problems. I’ll of course try to avoid that happening next time.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Heck yeah been waiting for this one buddy thanks!

[@NickLindner]

Yeah buddddyyy! Kind of a fun format.

[@pkgzapper]

At 42:49, is that for sure a walleye, or could it be a pike? The lack of reaction just males me wonder what it is

[@NickLindner]

For sure possible! Walleyes and pike can appear pretty similar generally pike are usually more aggressive, that can sometimes be a dead giveaway

[@jln3297]

Twice you touched on how stocked lake walleye differ from walleye factorys fish behavior. Both time you got distracted and didnt make your point. Curious on how you differ your approach

[@NickLindner]

The fish are more aggressive on natural walleye fisheries. I’ll try and talk more on that in a future video.

[@tonybell9201]

I'm only 30 min into the vid but is there a slot limit where you are fishing?

[@NickLindner]

No, just normal Minnesota regulations, so 6 walleyes total, but only one of them can be over 20 inches.

[@carlospittaluga9255]

I’m still watching and I’m glad to see you having a hard time catching a fish. I just started to use live target and I’m so frustrated seeing the fish and not getting them to bite. I thought it was me. I see them come to the bait and turn away. lol Most of these guys on KZbin only show when they catch fish. This is a great video, keep up the good work.

[@NickLindner]

It’s not just you! Walleyes are fickle beasts, even when you put baits right on their forehead.

[@carlospittaluga9255]

I’m also in NE PA probably not as many walleyes as the Midwest. People here are more bass fisherman. I’ve caught my first 2 walleye last year using swim baits. One of them at night 28 inches.

[@BucksNwalleyes]

That LiveScope footage is tough to beat! Hoping to see a bobber video soon!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks man. I need to get a really good bobber video done

[@ericpaul9012]

Man, first time watching your videos... i was the entire 2 hours ans really learnt alot... You really hit me in the spot when you said alot of people dont use the livescope very well haha... im new to boat fishing, and im really good at ice fishing with the livescope.... would you mind sharijg your settings with me? And also which angle you use for the forward mode?

[@NickLindner]

Hey Eric. Lots to unpack there. I need to just do a video breaking it all down. Probably soon.

[@ericpaul9012]

@NickLindner thanks man!!!! I'll follow to make sure I don't miss any of your videos... can't wait to put some walleye on the boat and release them...

[@NickLindner]

@@ericpaul9012 right on, man! I hope you spank em

[@brianwilliams5026]

Nick is your live scope transducer on your trolling motor? I see no pole.

[@NickLindner]

Yup! Trolling motor. It’s easier for me to be efficient with the hands-free trolling motor strategy

[@benboyum3669]

This has been one of the more informative videos I’ve watched on catching fish with live scope. This structure sets up just like home lake and are seeing the ability to read the sonar better with tips from this. Thanks for posting this! Also, I would say perfect eater is 16-18” anything else should go back. Though you’re on a stock lake, still feels unsettling to see a 19 or 20” fish in heavy pressured small bodies of northern mn be taken.

[@NickLindner]

I don’t disagree on the harvest deal, Ben. If I didn’t have a shortish window of time to get a limit for a fish fry that evening, I probably would have tried to select for some more moderate sized fish. This lake is stocked with a lot of fish though, and tons of fish get pulled out every week. It’s doing alright there (for big fish too). Thanks for watching. I thought this would be a fun one, as most stocked walleye lakes in Minnesota kinda setup like this.

It would be nice to find someone who can fish without ffs. It’s not in my near future and have no interest, I was super excited about it at first but now everyone on the lakes stare at a screen, they run right up on you, seeing that there’s fish around you, I could have poked a guy in the eye with my rod tip last weekend he rolled by so close. It’s sad to see.

[@KevinKnoxx]

Watch older videos

[@NickLindner]

I understand where you’re coming from Nathan. I’d also counter that walleye anglers have always had a propensity to fish wayyy too close to other angler, even before ffs.

[@pharmfisher5371]

I have the opposite happen. I find fish with ffs and all the old farts come right up to me. Super annoying.
